Fox Edition or Monochrome Regular RZR1000??
I’m looking at buying a rzr1000 in the next couple weeks. I’ll use it for mainly bush trails and some mudding. Which rzr1000 would be more suited for me…Fox Edition or the regular rzr. Thanks

04 400ex rebuild and upgrade questions quick please
ok so i just recently got an 04 400ex over the winter. well over the weekend was the first chance i got to really ride it. valves are adjusted perfectly. installed a manual tentioner to fix the wasted auto one for the timing chain that was on it and get rid of that noise. well we went riding saturday and sunday both. now when we left i was full on oil. day 2 i was riding with different people and they were telling me how bad the quad was smoking. so today we did a compression test which held at 120psi so its good. was’nt blowing past the intake or exhaust valves. but it felt like when i was riding that it just had a real lack of power and was bogging. well we pulled the valve cover and the seals looked good so we then pulled the head.
found the head gasket appeared blown in one spot the timing chain was stretched beyond belief. the one timing chain gide was wasted probly from the bad auto tentioner that it had when i bought it. and the cylinder has zero cross hatch left in it as well. the rings were worn out and almost all lined up on the end gaps as well.
so here is where my questions start. the one guy says just go to a 416 high comp which is .080 over bore at 87mm. should i just do that or go for the 85.5 or 86mm over bore options? 85.5 is .020 over, and 86mm is .040 over. and i didnt see an 86.5mm option when i was looking.
and what year crf 450 timing chain is the upgraded chain that will fit? because im going to get that as well. anything else i should really inspect or address closely? it all looked pretty good from what i could see otherwise.
i work in an engine machine shop so im taking the jug and head with me to work tomorrow to start cleaning up.
oh and yes the cam looked great to as well as the rod. looking to start ordering parts tomorrow asap in the day to get it back on the road asap so quick responses would be awesome.

Bad front right axle?
How is it going everyone? My 2000 Honda Foreman 450S makes a small clicking(popping) sound when I turn hard right at low speed. Is this meaning I need to replace the front right side axle? Right side if your sitting on the seat.
I don’t hear it if i’m turning left just when I turn right. I’m assuming you cant replace the u-joints? I don’t know to be honest.
Also should I replace both axles at the same time or would I be ok just to do the popping side? Thanks for your help.

08 800 rear hitch and winch plate
Looked a little but couldn’t find an exact answer. Looking for a rear 2" hitch for my rzr800. Bike has a rear bumper or brush guard what ever you wanna call it that goes around the tail lights. Called uti and they said that the hitch would not work with the bumper. Does the emp hitch work with a bumper or any others that may work? Also for the front winch mount was Guna get a bumper winch mount bumper but read that it puts a lot of stress on frame so just Guna stick with it in the frame. And winch mounts that work for the harbor freight 5000lb winch?

trouble shooting
Hello I recently installed the big 3 package from ehs racing, and now my wheeler when I lightly feather the throttle will sometimes stall out or almost stall. For example the other day I was playing around climbing a dirt pile and I tapped the throttle a few times going up and it stalled. I’m thinking it might be either a adjustment of the tuner or it isn’t getting enough air or fuel(which is fixable with tuner) thanks.
